Ingredients 

  • 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats, or see oat-free options below
  • 1 cup seeds of choice (e.g. sunflower, pepitas, chia, flax, sesame)
  • 1 cup nuts of choice, chopped (e.g. almonds, cashews, walnuts, pecans – or skip for nut-free)
  • ¾ cup dried fruit, chopped (e.g. apricots, dates, apples, figs, cranberries)
  • ½ cup shredded or desiccated coconut I like to use a mix of both
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup (or honey)
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted (or olive oil or butter)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F). Line one or two large baking trays with baking paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine oats (or oat free base), seeds, nuts, dried fruit, coconut, cinnamon and salt together.
  • Slightly melt the coconut oil, then stir in maple syrup and vanilla.
  • Pour over dry ingredients and mix until everything is well coated. The mixture won't be overly sticky together, just make sure its well mixed through.
  • Spread thinly onto baking trays in an even layer.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then remove, stir gently, and spread again.
  • Return to oven for another 5–10 minutes, or until light golden and fragrant. If you have added particularly high sugar dried fruits, you will need to keep a close eye that they don't burn!
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on the tray - it crisps up nicely as it cools.
  • Once completely cool, store in an airtight container or jar for up to 2–3 weeks.

Notes

For those avoiding oats, swap with:
 
  • Brown rice flakes – great texture and mild taste
  • Brown rice puffs or puffed rice (GF certified)
  • Quinoa flakes
  • Buckwheat groats
  • Or a combo of the above + extra seeds or coconut
